I know it's not what you were asking about, but I will say we will never know what really happened on Sep't 11, 2001.
I do not embrace conspiracy theories but I have to say that the evidence that casts doubt on the official version of what brought the twin towers down is beginning to convince me. The physics and engineering do not add up -- a jet airplane, loaded with jet fuel, simply does not have enough mass and energy to cause a highly redundant steel superstructure to collapse on itself and fall vertically to the ground below. The burning jet fuel doesn't explain it either, it burns nearly 1,000 degrees cooler than the melting point of steel. In fact, there have been skyscraper fires that consumed more floors than the WTC fires, and those buildings remained standing after the fires were extinguished.
If you ever get a chance to handle a small piece of airplane fuselage, you will reach the same conclusion. The skin of a plane is basically a honeycomb of thin, light aluminum and composite materials. Jetliners are very fragile and have to be operated within narrow flight specifications to balance the forces of the air, gravity and engines; they really are just flying eggshells. Imagine throwing a raw egg at a bird cage -- I don't care how fast the egg goes, the cage isn't going to collapse completely on itself.
And I won't get into the fact that airline pilots generally say that Cessna training isn't enough to learn how to fly a modern jetliner with enough precision to hit either the WTC towers or the Pentagon.
I'm not going to speculate who or what caused the demolition of the WTC after the airplanes struck. I only have enough facts to conclude there was a controlled demolition. Whether or not the demolition was tied to a greater "plan" that involved the financial markets, I don't know and I doubt any of us ever will.
